Slapstick After Dark: One Cut of the Dead (2017)

A deliriously inventive comedy-horror hybrid that became an international cult sensation!

One Cut of the Dead (2017) begins as a low-budget zombie filmshoot in an abandoned warehouse until a real zombie outbreak apparently interrupts production. But nothing in this film is quite what it seems. With jaw-dropping twists, razor-sharp comic timing and a heartfelt love for the chaos of filmmaking itself, Shinichirō Ueda’s breakout cult hit is both a genre parody and a joyous celebration of creative collaboration against the odds.

The screening will be introduced by Adam Murray (Bristol Black Horror Club), joined by zombie-fan comedian Robin Ince, setting the scene for this unique Japanese gem and its global influence on indie horror and comedy.
